There is good prospect of a stamp mill soon being erected on the San Francisco by one of our citizens. One of our mine owners, as an inducement, offers to furnish 800 tons of ore and pay S10 per ton for reduction. With the quantity of gold rock which can be found in this vicinity, the mill ought to prove good investment.

New Strikes.

A strike winch has caused con siderable excitement about town is one made by Messrs. Swallow, Carson and the Friend brothers within about three-quarters of a mile above town. Two locations have been made by these parties, which have been named the Won derful and the Surprise. The ore is lead carbonate, carrying gold as well as silver, assays being more than encouraging. The owners are at present at work upon the Wonderful, and from which they have within the past week quar- ried about forty tons of ore from the outcrop, preparatory to running an incline drift If in dicatiuns hold out during the com ing week we shall speak more fully of these claims. The i'm portance of this find, if it turns out as it promises, is great and cannot fall but to cause genuine and permanent boom in Clifton.
 Charley Johnson dropped into the office last week and left some fine looking specimens of rock, which showed abundance of horn and native silver together with red carbonates. The specimens were from new find made by James Mccarthy at the Gray's Peak district. The strike is regarded as most promising one.
 Messrs. Campbell and Muir are reported to have made remark ably rich strike some little dis tance beyond the Coronado. No particulars regarding this find have been obtainable.
 Gold specimens of wonderful richness have been shown about town the past week by Mexican, but beyond saying that he found them down the river," no idea of where he got them can be formed.

Last Thursday Engineer Ar buckle of the baby-guage left seven cars at Metcalf to be loaded. The brakesman in charge, after loading three of them, attempted to let them down so as to load the others, when the cars got beyond hls con- trol. After a vain effort to stop the train by turning the brakes tho wrong way, the brakesman jumped off and let the train have its own way. On the heavy grade the cars were soon under tremen- dous headway and at the first curve flew the track and piled up. One car was demolished and the others damaged so that more or less re- pairs were necessary.

THE CLARION is in receipt of a letter from J. 5. Noble, Division Superintendent of the Southern Pacific railroad. Mir. Noble writes in answer to an item published re- gently relative to dispatch sent by Deputy Sheriff Hovey request ing a description of the train robbers. Mir Noble failed to re- ceive such dispatch, through an informality in the manner in which 1t was sent. We feel assured that Mir. Noble, had he been aware of the contents of the telegram, would have furnished Mir. Hovey with all the information in his power.

The heavy storms of Wednesday and Thursday night caused havoc on the A. & N. NJ. railway. Thurs day night the train was delayed about four hours and half by a washout at Guthrie. And in at tempting to leave Friday morning it was compelled to return on ac- count of d serious catastrophe to to the big trestle at Wards, five of the supports being washed away. The mail was transferred to a handcar on the other side of the bridge and with Carl Merrill in charge was taken to Lordsburg by this means. Here Mir. Merrill fired up the extra engine and brought passengers and mail as far as the trestle, where they were transferred to the work train on this side and brought to town. The same day a force of bridge builders and carpenters were put to work and last night the bridge was so far repaired that a few cars of coke were run over it, but the regular traffic will not be resumed before Friday, at which time the trestle will be in perfect order. A small washout also occurred at Clifton, near the corral. A force of twenty men soon had this re- paired, however. Other slight washouts occurred on the road, but nothing of a serious nature.

Consul General Bonham, at Cal

ment that India produced in the
year ended March 81. 1886, $780,
100000 bushels of wheat in an area
of 81, 100000 acres. The export was
2l,000,000 cwt. in 1885, against
100000 cwt. in 1868. The Indian
wheat is not as good as the Ameri
can wheat of the Pacific coast, but il
is mixed with better wheat to pro-
duce a fair marketable grade Of
-four. Consul Bonham thinks India
is destined to be our most formida-
bic competitor in wheat-growing.
The industry is yet in its infancy in
India. AS the Indian farmers ont.

Of about $3.50 a month, he will be

four doomed men to make use OF his
wits. In a tone of intense bitterness
he Kissed out between his tightly
clenched teeth, There will come
time when our silence will be more
powerful than the voices they are
strangling TO death"
The last syllable of Spies's con-
cluding words, hoarse with sup
pressed passion, had not reached an
end when Engel, raising his voice,
wildly cried, "Hurrah for anarchy"
Fischer caught the fire of the ut
terance, and still more loudly ex-
claimed, "Hurrah for anarchy, ad
ding "This is the happiest moment
of my life"
There was silence like the grave,

THE PRISONERS DEATH SONG

were distributed to admit about 250
newspaper men, local politicians and
the Jurors to view the bodies after
the hanging. The scaffold was in
side the Jail. At 11.l2 the con
demned men ate their last lunch,
and at .23 the sheriff commenced
reading the death warrants.
After the warrant had been read
to Spies he said: "Sherif1, you are
about to commit judicial murder" !"
Taking his watch from his pocket
he handed it to deputy, request
ing him to deliver it to his mother.
A strong leather belt was then pass
ed around his body securely, fasten-
inc his arms straight down to where
a pair of bright nickel plated mana
cles behind him fastened his wrists
together. A moment later his body
was completely enveloped in a
shroud, loosely gathered about the
neck. The sheriff then addressed

STORING CABSAGES,
Tho Right Way of Putting Them a way for
Next Years Use.

Next Years Use.
Every one thinks he can bury cab
bages, and good many of them are
buried without any formality about
It. Now, like every thing else. there
IS a wrong and a right way of doing
this. Cabbages, carefully stored, will
not lose any thing. and often gain
much by being attended to in proper
manner.
Iprefer pulling and storing on the
same day. The general practice is to
pull. turn over with roots up. and al
low them time to dry" before storing
Now. a cabbage. if it lies day in a
bright sun with the roots up. loses
considerable of lis moisture by evapo-
ration, leaving it in q wilted condition.
and if kept long in this state
is unfit for use. BY pulling on dry
day, about the second week in No
vember. and storing at once. they
have not had enough of frost to injure
them, nor are they allowed to get dry
and lose their succulent condition.
When pulling them. all hard heads
are selected and kept by themselves.
TO be packed in trenches with the
leaves carefully tucked around them,
and roots up, using for covering
finely pulverized soil. packed closely
around the heads. If the weather is
warm at the time. only about an inch
or two is put on. and more added as
the severity of the weather demands.
The loose heads are kept by them
selves and buried with roofs down
and heads up; in this condition they
gain in solidity if not in size They
must never be allowed to get very
dry. or have much of the soil
shaken from the roots when plant
ed. 1t takes a good deep furrow to
get them suitably set in. with roots
down. but it can mostly be done with
the pillow. Much of the covering can
also be done by bringing the soil up
against the plants with the pillow. and
then shoveling it around them as COM
pactly as possible. If packed firmly
they keep better, and mice are less
likely to injure them by burrowing
around and cutting them.
In order to get at them during win
ter. q covering of leaves or any rough
material which will keep out the frost,
is necessary.
When selecting place to store cab
bages, it is necessary to have ground
where water does not stand, but passes
off freely and quickly; stagnant water
soons rots them. and they will not re-
main long in good condition where
they are not kept dry.-A Milton. in
